BlackDemographics.com is currently working on a project to outline African American origins to help us get a better understanding of our history before the trans-Atlantic slave trade. So far we have a list of the regions, some of the major ethnic groups in those regions, and many of the empires and kingdoms that existed in West and Central-West Africa. Soon to add more specifics such as governments, economies, social/family structures, religions, etc. Please take a look at the page and feel free to send feedback suggestions and credible sources. Remember, this is a work in progress and most link on the page point to encyclopedia and Wikipedia until more information is verified.
